Attacks by Baloch separatists and Islamist groups on Chinese nationals and infrastructure in Pakistan have disrupted China's economic plans, particularly under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). Despite Chinese President Xi Jinping's call for cooperation on CPEC, recent attacks, including a suicide bombing that killed five Chinese engineers, have raised concerns. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for some attacks, while suspicion falls on groups like Tehrik-eTaliban Pakistan (TTP) and Islamic State–Khorasan Province (ISKP). The incidents highlight challenges to China's investments in Pakistan and the complex security situation in the region.
